help!!!
my firewire drive (ezquest 7200rpm/80g) was fine 20 minutes ago.
suddenly, it's not showing up on my powerbook (10.2.8),
and when i restart i get a "this drive can not be read by osx...do you want to initialize or ignore?"
well, i'm not going to initialize...all my audio work is on the drive.
what can i do? any apps to dowmload that might help?
thanx

system profiler didnt even show the fw drive...
the diskwarrior cd saw it, found serious directory errors, fixed them.
i am back in business; this is one app worth owning..

Diskwarrior has worked its magic several times on zombie FW drives for me. It's one of the few apps that I consider truly indispensable. Of course, I'd recommend purchasing it *before* you have a problem
